Colorado Collaborative Scopes of Care Study

 Collaborative Scopes of Care In 2007 Governor Bill Ritter issued an executive order commissioning a study of the evidence and efficacy for expanding the scopes of practice of advanced practice nurses, physician assistants and dental hygienists. CHI served as the research entity for the study which was completed and submitted on December 31, 2008, to the governor who forwarded it to the legislature for review and possible action.
The report reviewed the evidence relating to the scopes of practice of advanced practice nurses, physician assistants and dental hygienists, the settings in which they practice, innovative models of care that employ interdisciplinary teams and the quality of care provided. The study was supported by The Colorado Trust and Caring for Colorado Foundation.

As an extension of work completed for the Collaborative Scopes of Care Study, the Colorado Health Institute (CHI) conducted a scan of various primary care clinics that utilize interdisciplinary collaborative models for the provision of primary care. Interviews were conducted with staff of select clinics that employ or are run by physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (NPs) or certified nurse midwives (CNMs). For the purposes of this study, these advanced practice clinicians are identified as non-physician primary care clinicians (NPCC).
